These Managers will be able to see your training history, too.
If you would like to keep your own training history separate, please log out then purchase the drivers using a separate account with a different email address.

If you are given medication by your doctor that does not affect your driving, what do you have to do?If you are given medication by your doctor that does not affect your driving, what do you have to do?

A.
Not drive - you shouldn't be driving on medication

B.
You can drive whenever you want

C.
You must tell the police where you are driving

The correct answer is B

Correct. If there's no effect on your driving, it's fine to drive

Taking medication and driving

If you have been given medication you must check whether it is safe for you to drive while you are taking it if you intend to drive. If your medication has no effect on your driving, you can drive. However, you will not be able to drive if your driving is impaired after taking some types of medication. Any medication that affects hearing, vision, coordination and visuospatial perception, concentration, judgement, reaction time, muscle power and judgement should not be taken before driving. If your medication leaves you feeling drowsy or sleepy, sick, dizzy, weak or easily confused, don't drive. If your medication means you are not able to focus or pay attention or it gives you blurred vision or slurred speech, don't drive.

Which medications mean you shouldn't drive?

Your doctor will be able to advise you whether medication is safe or not. The following products require caution:

Tranquilizers

Sleeping pills

Some pain relievers (generally stronger ones)

Some cold remedies

Some anti-allergy products

Some antidepressants

Prescription drugs for anxiety

Some diet pills, if they contain stimulants

Products containing codeine

If you have to take medication but also have to drive, make your doctor aware and it might be possible to be prescribed one or more medications that have a similar result but don't affect your ability to drive. They might also be able to adjust the dose, change the timing of the doses, or change your diet or exercise regime to reduce the need for the medication.

Length of impairment

Some medications only have short-term effects when you change the dose. This means you might only need to stop driving for a few days until your body adjusts. However, some medications are strong enough that you will need to stop driving for the whole course.

Using alcohol and medications

Alcohol can magnify the impairment effects of medicines so it's advised to not use alcohol at all if you are taking medication.

Alternatives to driving yourself

Plan as many trips in advance as possible so that you can coordinate other ways of getting to your desired destination.

Carpooling

Taxi/Uber

Walking

Cycling (but bear in mind that medication can make cycling unsafe, too)
